Judges Council Miniature Flower Show


 
The Southern Wisconsin Judges Council Garden Club which includes Flower Show Judges from both the Madison and Milwaukee areas held a Petite Small - Standard Flower Show titled "A Child's Garden of Verse" which had an Alice in Wonderland Theme. This schedule called for 5" and 8" examples of small and miniature designs and horticulture from small, dwarf or miniature plants which works out perfectly to be held in a home.
"Drink Me"
When floral art is done in this manner all the materials should be to scale, so if you took a picture of it you would not realize it was only 5 or 8 inches tall. Think of a doll house verses a real home.

Through the Looking Glass - 5" design staged on a hand mirror
In "Through the Looking Glass" the designs were displayed on hand mirrors. Three acrylic stands displayed other classes of designs- "In Character" an all around design inspired by Alice's adventures where the designer must name the selected character, "Tweedledee and Tweedledum" a small design with two containers, and "Drink Me".
"Tweedledee and Tweedledum"
Look across to the window to see 4 other entries displayed.

We all had a fun time thinking small in this competitive floral event.
Even the ribbons are small!
